Shenandoah River - in Modern Arts

In Modern Arts

The Shenandoah River appeared in John Denver's Folk rock song of Take Me Home, Country Roads, in the 2nd sentence of the first stanza:

Almost heaven, West Virginia,

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.

Life is old there, older than the trees,

Younger than the mountains,

Blowin' like the breeze.
